RLW / PAAK - Klingelbeutel
The new vinyl record by RLW (Ralf Wehowsky) and PAAK (Peter Kastner) is now available.
After RLW and PAAK worked (together with Ine Ophof and Jan van Wissen) on the theme „food“ (see CD "Mahlzeit" on Hinterzimmer Records) they both come now to the next basic theme, the religious mania. Basic material for the pieces „pay the prayer“ (RLW) and „opium 1 – 4“ (PAAK) were recordings of prayers and other christian propaganda from TV and records.
The vinyl-record is limited to 154 pieces and comes with 3 inserts, one of them is a signed stamp print (for enlightment and accompaning during listening to the record each is printed on one page of a catholic prayer – and songbook).
There´s no business like holy business / PLAY IT LOUD.
